21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Monetha ICO... present price on: September 08, 2017, 01:49:26 PM
Unfortunately I missed the Monetha ICO.  I noticed it hit the exchanges the other day and is currently trading around .30 cents.  Curious what price most people got in the ICO?

Is there a cut off to register for the ICO?  Traveling and dont know my ETH address to register.  Assuming you can't register without that?
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NEO - The Ethereum of China (Invest before you regret) on: September 06, 2017, 05:04:47 AM
I don't see NEO recovering now in the near future as it is banned from doing ICOS, so NEO will become probably defunct sooner or later, unless China decides to relax and regulate the laws a little bit. If the blanket ban on ICOS continues, then Neo is having an early funeral.


Among the doom and gloom here's what I don't get:

1.  China has banned/made illegal ICOs for now.  But isn't the general feeling this was a step that will lead to regulation ... eventually opening up a more legitimate ICO market place?

2.  If a start up in Spain (or pick your country) wanted to use NEO as the platform for an ICO the Chinese could stop this?  Certainly the government could ban its citizens from participating... but why can't 99% of the rest of the world still use NEO as an ICO platform?  I guess the government could arrest the NEO team thus ending everything... but seems go me the government is essentially trying to protect it's citizens  (scam ICOs).  With NEO itself being based in China... it's unclear how far the govt tentacles can reach with regard to this?

As a side note... Red Pulse (Hong Kong) has delayed their ICO but still hasn't cancelled it.  Interesting to see what ultimately happens there. 

2. I doubt any serious start up in Spain would:
a) Decide to do something risky like this. Neo is not a public blockchain. Neo is totally under control of the Neo team (or rather onchain ? which btw is also involved in an exchange...), and thus by extension of the Chinese government.
b) Use such a problematic platform in the first place. Neo is going in the very wrong direction of being under control of the NEO team. Blockchain systems were developed to get away from this.
BTW it's very clear how far the government can reach. It can just shut down the whole Neo project whenever it wants.


I thought NEO, while it started in China... was an open source project with a public blockchain?  Maybe I misinterpreted that?

In simple terms how I view this... the ICO is just a way to fund a project/company.... China is saying that breaks their  fundraising laws... that's basically it.  I think some are getting a little carried away, or what am I missing?  A project could start tomorrow on the NEO platform...no one is stopping that.  It's just if it's a Chinese company it can't fundraise through an ICO.

And most likely ICO regulations will be rolled out to have it meet their fundraising laws.  More and more countries are going to be doing something similar.  Just seems like there is a little too much freak out.

Hey CryptoDude2727 The pre-sale is complete, but you can still participate in the ICO on September 12th 2017. https://blackmooncrypto.com/
Have a look at the whitepaper as well , very good information and very clear.


Have been researching.  All these ICO formats are different.  So basically on 9/12 Blackmoon team will release an ETH address... then it's first come first serve? 
25  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Blackmoon Crypto Platform for Tokenized Investment Fund on: September 05, 2017, 11:47:30 PM
I lost track... is there any pre-registration for Blackmoon?

Closest competitors to Blackmoon? 
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Blackmoon Crypto Platform for Tokenized Investment Fund on: September 04, 2017, 11:37:59 PM
US is not restricted in ICO for Blackmoon?

Yes at the moment US citizens are not allowed to buy during ICO because of current regulatory uncertainty and before additional information is publicly released by the Blackmoon Platform on the matter, green card holders of the United States or citizens or residents (tax or otherwise) of the United States of America, Singapore or China, or other U.S., Singapore Person or PRC Person, are not eligible to register as Continuous Contributors as it’s described in the “Blackmoon Crypto Platform” section below. That limits the ability of U.S., Singapore, PRC persons to utilize BMC tokens and participate in the future development of the Platform as well as in the distribution of proceeds.

At the moment there not seems to be particular problems for US investors, but for now probably Blackmoon do not want to take these risks.

Anyway, based on legal advice and opinions gathered by the company during the preparation process, BMC tokens will not fall under the current notion of securities by SEC based on the famous Howey test. Anyway Blackmoon pays a lot of attention to that matter and is in continuous communications with US attorneys while formalizing its position.

Here is the abstract from the opinion:

"we believe that current iteration of the BMC White Paper describes a digital token that is not likely to be deemed a security under applicable US laws.
We understand that the White Paper may be revised further and recommend that the final BMC token should be structured as follows:

(i) only those holders of BMC tokens should receive compensation from their tokens who are actively using their computational resources, investment advisory competences, and other individual skills and capabilities to enable performance of the BMC tokenized investment vehicles network;

(ii) holders of BMC tokens should receive rights to earn future income by active participation and should not receive an expectation or right to receive passive income; and

(iii) holders of BMC tokens should have a reasonable degree of control / participation over the operations and direction of the BMC tokenized investment vehicles network."

It is just a precaution because the regulatory uncertainty. Anyway in company roadmap one of the goal is to get the license as broker-dealer in US so probably when this happen US citizens can invest in Blackmoon Crypto (according to roadmap present in whitepaper this should happen during May 2018 if everything goes well).




I've read US citizens CAN participate in Blackmoon ICO?  I understand the environment, not looking for a long explanation.  Simply... can US citizens participate or not?

US is not restricted in ICO for Blackmoon?
30  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Wanchain - Connecting blockchains to exchange value on: September 03, 2017, 12:02:13 AM
This project seems interesting.  But there is almost zero buzz... do a basic Google search... or even compare this announcement string to others.

Not a great sign imo.  Any comments?
31  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Who did the Marketing/PR for EVEREX? on: September 02, 2017, 11:57:42 PM
Can anyone tell me what exchanges Everex will be traded on now that the ICO is over?
32  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ICO] Wanchain - Connecting blockchains to exchange value on: August 31, 2017, 07:09:15 PM
Any restriction on participation from certain countries?
33  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [RPX] Red Pulse Token – Next Generation Intelligence and Content Ecosystem on: August 31, 2017, 07:07:22 PM
No US participation in this one either?  They are requiring pre registration with a passport.  Man, this is pissing me off.

Hey, here's the answer of the development team.

"Don't worry, your Neo is not missing. You can check blockchain browser(http://antcha.in/ or https://antchain.xyz/) to confirm your balance. For too many people are visiting this wallet, server has stopped, we are fixing this problem. If you are urgent to transfer, you can export your private key and use other wallet instead. If you are not, just wait for a second then everything will be ok. Sorry for all of this."



And what other safe, secure wallet is there?  I don't want to download the blockchain.
35  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: NEO online wallet neowallet.cn on: August 29, 2017, 03:58:01 PM
Yep it's acting up today...

Use neoexplorer to check your wallet address and it should show correct balance


Yes... been doing that.  But what if I want to receive or send NEO?  I know it will probably be fine, but again just seems shaky as hell.

Is there a reliable, easy to use wallet for NEO?
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: NEO online wallet neowallet.cn on: August 29, 2017, 03:28:41 PM
Hi, i'm glad to see you post as i also use this wallet and since this morning i don't see any of my coins in it Sad
But i can see them when i check on neotogas.com with my public address.
Still, that's a bit scary and very embarrassing if we want to sell ou neo fast in case of emergency !
I'm going to post on reddit cause i don't see much information on this issue.
We keep posted
Bye
M.

Thank you... please respond to this string if you find anything.

Fyi... my balance has increased since having the wallet open... but still not to the correct amount.  It's like it's not synched... but it's saying it's 100% synched on my end. 
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / NEO online wallet neowallet.cn on: August 29, 2017, 02:25:07 PM
I've been using NEO online wallet neowallet.cn.

Today I log in and it's giving me the wrong NEO and GAS balance (I'm missing a bunch).  I checks the blockchain explorer and my NEO still seems to be there.  Anyone else having this problem?  This wallet just seems to be shaky as hell... makes me nervous!

Went to https://wanchain.org/crowdsale

Is there a formal way to register for the crowdsale?  I didn't see it?


Thanks.

Kik's Kin looks like a safe bet

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times... 1 trillion coins (yes that's a "t") to be released to the public.  3 trillion more to be released over the next 2.5 years.  And 6 trillion to their foundation.

These numbers don't bother anyone?  
40  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is ripple about to blow off as the next big thing ? on: August 23, 2017, 10:35:38 PM
I've gotten rid of mine pretty fast, definitely don't see it blowing up imo.
When the CEO doesn't recommend to invest in it, gotta take the hint.

Where is that quote?
